Just on the fringe of Allegany National Forest on the banks of Tionesta Creek, we’re enjoying the comforts of Tionesta Campground Site #42. It’s an Army Corps of Engineers campground with more amenities than usual. We’ve got full hookups! We got to indulge in full...
After a leisurely breakfast at the house with Ben & Lynda we quickly packed up and hitched up our T@B 400 which had been patiently parked in the driveway while we’d ventured off to Boston. Instead of staying to watch the Fourth of July Parade march past the house,...
A family farm since 1904, Wright's Farm in Gardiner NY is a wonderful place to shop for farm fresh food. Cherries just came into season this week. We got homemade Peach Rhubarb Pie, Cinnamon Apple Cider Doughnuts, Free Range Eggs, Maple Sausage , and more. It's a...
What to do on a rainy day in Otsego County? Explore Cooperstown, of course. We first thought of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and that it was the hometown of a high school friend so that's where we headed. Found some on street parking and walked the couple of...
It's Columbus Day Weekend and it's the end of tourist season in NH. With the late autumn foliage this year the colors have not yet peaked but it's time for us visitors to get out of town. Our campground for the last two nights closes at noon on Monday. We chose today...
Last night well after dinner the hankering started. We were both wanting something, a bit of a comfort food kind of something, and realized it was Pie! We had no pie and it wasn't reasonable to be heading out in the dark on unfamiliar roads in search of pie so we...
Yesterday as we were leaving Westfield NY,we had the GPS set for a state park not far from Fort Niagara north of Buffalo. Less than an hour later we'd talked with a friend in Vermont and reset the GPS. This morning we woke up with a view of mist rising from West...
Today's adventures began with a stroll through the vineyard right next to the KOA. Campground owner, Dennis, invited us to visit and pick some of his Concord grapes. Oh, that delicious grapey grape smell and taste! Quintessential grape! Then we headed to downtown...
Ah! Yes! We're off the Thruway and onto US-20. Even better we're back at Johnson Estate Winery near Westfield, New York. We were here in '13 and were quite impressed with their wines, especially their Red Ipocras. Today we stopped and stocked up on some old favorites...
It's our third trip through this part of New York. On both previous trips we traveled US-20 and loved it. The countryside is beautiful and we enjoy traveling through the small towns. Today we needed to make time because we have reservations at Geneva State Park in...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
